The Best Of The Dish Today

"Doctor Who" - Cardiff Premiere

Today, we noted yet another atrocity in the Middle East – ISIS’ campaign against the Yazidis near Mosul. The cannabis revolution gathered pace – with traffic deaths down in Colorado – and DC may soon legalize the weed entirely. Back hair got more defenses; gay culture seemed lost in the eddies of integration; a woman became an NBA assistant coach; and the New York Times finally stopped caving to government pressure on the word “torture.”

The most popular post of the day remained The Last And First Temptation Of Israel; followed by a very Matt and Trey Quote For The Day.

Thanks for the great blogging. Just a quick comment that I just re-subscribed to pay $10 per month rather than $5.  To do that, Tinypass directed to let my original (founding) subscription lapse and then re-subscribe.  I hope I still get to keep Founding Member status. It’s cool thing and I’d prefer to keep it.

It was never lost. See you in the morning.
